Ok so I solved the issue and not sure what was causing the problem but here's how it went. Removed each injector and reinstalled them. I figured that at least this would mean fuel would leak into the cylinder and hopefully fire. Bingo. Engine purring like it should. Not sure if there must have been air in the system or what but it's running mint now.

Figured out the issue, turns out the ecu pinouts are different between the jdm and UK. I just had to depin and swap over 6 wires, took me ages to find the two different service manuals. But its pretty simple to swap the pins over.

I double checked all of the OPs instructions before doing it and traced all the wires back to make sure i didnt fry my link lol. All ive gotta do now is configure the ecu to use the factory spec c iat instead of the one that people use when they splice into the maf sensor temps. Then extend the wires from the watersprayer to the boot and check that works with the manual and auto function. Anyways no more time to work on my car, ive got rally cars to prep for the upcoming season, fab work doesnt get done on a keyboard (and not much time to do so might i add)

A kind gentleman gave me his v7 OEM pump and fuel sock for free yesterday! Had done 230k kms, but really had no other choice so chucked it in. So basically removed the intank fuel pump assembly twice in two days. Such a crappy job on a GDB! Here's to hoping i never have to do one again lol. Also.. drove a supercharged RS4 B7 today... HOLY DAM! Basically as fast as my v11s peak torque but instantaneous and everywhere. Freaking insane lol

Seems easier to just make a wider pan if you can fit it in. Make bolting them up a pain but it can’t slosh into the heads. some wide v8 pans are like that super short bolts and open end spanner take ages to good up but big volume increases and v bottom so oil awaits around pickup. Must be a good custom pan though. This is NZ so we do DIY more than buy since not the volume of sales to support off the shelf designer parts.

True. Was just making sure he didn't make the mistake of getting that one haha
